- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 417,666, dated December 17, 1889.

' Application filed May 24., 1889.

To all whom it may cancer/1 Be it known that I, HARRY \V. CLAYTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Odin, in the county of Marion and State of Illinois, have invented'a new and useful laint Composition, of which the following is a specification. 1

This invention has relation to a liquid solution to be added to paints, oils, sizes, and wood fillers or primers, whereby the same are rendered absolutely fire-proof. Among the objects of theifventlon aFeto provide a liquid that may be applied, either alone or in conjunction with a sizing, ordinary paint, for

lugs, and, in fact, in any other place where such a solution would be of advantage, and

either inside or outside work, to oil paintmay be easily mixed with any other liquid.

The invention consists in the following ingredients: To about six ounces of blue vitriol are added two ounces of eopperas, six ounces sal-ammoniae, two ounces of sahsoda, six ounces of alum, three ounces of sulphate of zinc, three ounces of sugar of lead, four ounces of sulphate of magnesia, three ounces of chloride of zinc, two ounces of borax, one pound of quicklime, and one of common salt.

I The acid is destroyed by the zinc, and the en tire ingredients thoroughly ground and dissolved in one and a half gallon of water, and

j to this is added three gallons of oil, which latter may be either mineral, vegetable, linl seed, cotton-seed, or golden machine oil, or

i turpentine, separate or together.

,3 the compound, and to the same may be added subjected to tests of 300 Fahrenheit without the necessary pigments of any color, and the same will form a fire-proof paint that I have 1 producing co; ibusti on'.

3 omit the oils andpigments;

' The following are a few of the advantages accruing from the use of my compound, viz':

This forms.

Serial No. 311,996. ($pecimens.)

turpentine,&c., with whatever pigments are mixed for manufacturing paint-namely,

Mycompound produces a fluid that can be namely, glues, white of eggs, beer, or other albumen material. My compound can also be used in oil sizing. \Vhen u'." tlin the form of sizes applied to wood, it cail hardly be detected, thus enabling natural woods to be finished with a fair finish or wood-polish, which at the same time renders them fire-proof.

The compound herein described is also colorless, and may therefore be used on floors. v A paint mixed with my coin-pound when dry' has' a hard tlin't'y surtac'e,i'"sealing the pores of the wood and holding the fire-proof qualities from evaporation, will not crack, blister, dust, or peel, and wears longer-than paints not provided with the compound.

.I will herein st-ate that I do not limit my invention in mixing the same with any pairticular pigment, oil, or liquid, or to any man ner of applying or use, or to the exact proportions herein specified.

Having described my compound, what I claim is f V f v The herein-described compound adapted for mixing with liquids, oils, or dry pigments, or for use alone, the-same consisting of blue alum, sulphate of zinc, sugar of lead, sulphate of magnesia, chloride of zinc, borax, quicklime, and common salt, the above ground and dissolved in water and comh'lned in substantially the proportions specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aliixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

M. A. Boss, F. J. BARBEE.

The same can be used with oils of all kinds,

used'as a fireproof sizing in distempervitriol, copper-as, sal annnoniae, sal -sod a,

lead, iron, earthsfzincs, or other metallics.
